Youre going to need a separate section of your whole society dedicated to server uptime and maintaining the machine itself. The size and power draw of that thing is probably going to be nuts

>even in the matrix communism didn't work, so they settled on the 90s
Oh look, "The Third Eye"
you know the Matrix was plagerized right?
All works of fiction are based off of something like 7 basic narrative frameworks.
Everything in cyberpunk borrows heavily from prior work
It's sort of like the Lovecraft mythos except they exist in different universes
I meant there was lady who sued for copyright infringment
Did she win?
but I can't tell if she won or not
Snopes says "false" but that's Snopes
Tbh I dont really care about copyright infringement
k
There are dozens of "a computer controls everything" stories
For years there have been
And "youre stuck inside the computer" shit
There was a lot of debate in how the Matrix is a retelling of biblical stories
Yeah a lot of narratives are also just biblical, or have biblical applicability
I mean... it is
like, intentionally so
I heard fight club explained as a story written by a gay man about male toxicity. And matrix as a story directed by two trans as a trans/coming out story.
like oh brother, where art thou
Fight Club is definitely not about male toxicity
fight club is stupid, massively over hyped
Maybe female toxicity in some parts
Fight Club is about a search for meaning
^isn't palahniuk a massive shitlord?
The author was on JRE
Yeah
tf does shitlord mean
He seems like a cool dude
He's a shit disturber
asplain
I'm using it here as short hand for "not-pc"
He enjoys coming up with awful and uncomfortable scenarios in his work
"likes to dick around"
^also that
Which makes me want to read all of it :P
